its ya jack LOL :(

sorry, i would say its boot release or fuel flap release??

Very interesting.........never seen it before in any 33 i looked at.

Have you tried to follow were the brake cable leads to?

Maybe it's a Nismo sports muffler valve/noise control. I know the 34's had this option, never seen it in a 33.

Any unusual buttons on the dash?

Keep us posted

Can't be aftermarket.. Definately is stock.

That bracket fits in too well to be aftermarket..

+1 fot following the cable..

OH!

WAIT!

S1 or 2?

Because I know that nissan put in a exhaust valve mechanism that open under WOT and stays closed at lower RPM to help muffle an RB25 metallic resonating between 2-3 grand RPM

Its a series 2 96' r33

Id certainly say its stock and it doesn't connect to the aerial at all

So id being going with exhaust valve, would this explain when it hits 2grand and to about 3 grand it makes quite a loud... almost vibrating loud noise?

I just assumed it was because the exhaust is stock

Thanks for your replies, at least im pretty certain on what it is now lol

Hmm thought id get dad to check if it moves or does 'something' while i sat in the car revving around 2grand to like up to 5.... it didnt move... Soo ill still assume its an exhaust valve but i would have assumed it moved or did something at least lol

    • Welcome!  We're not all grumpy.    
    • Welcome. We're all grumpy old men (and a few grumpy old women) who are slowly coming to hate these cars. Any of the newer owners who have joined in the last few years are rapidly catching up with us as they realise they have bought a basket case and that parts are getting difficult to find. Just be realistic about your goals. You'll need a fat stack of cash to buy an R34 GTR, and you'd be far better off using that to buy absolutely anything else (ie, shares, a house, scratchy tickets) unless that fat stack of cash is only ~10% of the actual fat stack of cash that you have. You'll never want to drive an R34 GTR on the street if you have fear of it getting destroyed. That's more or less true of the 33s and 32s also. Most of the RWD cars have been drifted backwards into power poles. No-one knows what they are worth these days because they are not changing hands. My car has notionally been down to <$10k value at some point and was probably sellable for $40-$50k in the height of COVID stupidity, but I have no idea what it's really worth now. It's irreplaceable anyway, because... where would I find one to replace it? Being realistic means either paying a lot of cash for a really really clean example that you will only drive on sunny Sundays, or buying one to daily that you will not want to be really really clean, for the same fears of destruction that applies to the GTR. I daily mine and some people think I'm crazy. But....to me it's just a car that I bought last century with the express purpose of driving it as my daily. The silliness that has happened since doesn't affect my original purpose. I have well and truly amortised the initial purchase cost and most (probably all) of the subsequent modification costs. But I don't think I could go out and buy one now to daily.

    • Hey everyone! I'm quite young and I don't have enough to get a car right now but I love Nissan Skylines (Specifically the r34 GT-R. I'm so original I know.) and I would love to buy one in the future. I have no background knowledge, only an interest in cars, but I'd love to learn how they work so I can mod in the future. I've done some basic research on what model of Skyline I would start with and what mods to get started with are but nothing else. I'm here to learn! Hope you all have a great day
